Any reason Moniak was taken out? Other than Nevin is an idiot and can’t seem to cipher that it’s ok to let the kids get AB’s no matter what the score.

He did this w/Neto too.

Because baseball wisdom is lefty hitters fare better against righty pitchers and vice versa, stats be damned

A lefty came in the game. He wanted the lefty righty match up.

So he brought him in a 7-3 game late w/nobody on. Genius.

Weren’t people saying a few days ago our bullpen was actually good?

How the turn tables.

Couple of good pieces. Finally got rid of one of the bad pieces.

This should be a fast inning.

Not a good day for Angels so far. Both Houston and Texas are leading currently.

They’ll head home in 4th place.

Mariners are losing in the 7th inning now but Red Sox have been in a huge mess with their relievers like us Angels, so you will never know.

I’d smile too, Rendone, if I were getting paid millions of dollars to be constantly injured.

I was hoping Mike’s 2 hits last night were the start of his hot streak.

Again our bullpen looks pathetic when in a high leverage situation

We’ve got Moore and Estevez (maybe Devenski) and a bunch of crap, so it’s not exactly surprising.

I like Wantz, last appearance not withstanding.

Barria is solid in long relief.

I think we have 4 solid BP pieces. Need 2 more obviously, but our SP beyond Shohei and Sandy has been subpar thus far.

Our starters aren’t much better

Someone mentioned our bullpen is half full. I have to admit that is really true. What are the options to fix the other half? Do we have any internal option or we have to look for relievers from other teams?

Bachman and Joyce are better options.

The Only worthwhile Bachman left is Randy and hes too old to play anymore.

As far as I’m concerned only Estevez and Moore are worth keeping. Chuck the rest.

Should have left Moniak in.

On the positive side, if we always win the opener and drop the rest of the series, we won’t be what is considered as a “streaky” team…

Was really hoping that we break that pattern today. Let’s pretend that we did not win yesterday and see what happens tomorrow.

Why do other teams seem to score run when there a runner on third less than two outs.

May as well give that run back quick. Hurts less.

If it wasn’t for bad luck, we wouldn’t have no luck at all.

Again, I feel like today, Angels are cursed. Is there any professional exorcist out there to uncurse them? You will get a personal thank you from Perry Minasian.

I was thinking about the double off the pitchers foot.

An 0-2 lead-off HBP is worse than the traditional walk.

Kiyotchan

Another lead off hitter by HBP after 0-2 count! So frustrating.
